Cost & Value

How much does a concierge doctor cost in [CITY]?

Membership at Meyers Medical is $[X,XXX] per year — about $[XXX] per month. That single fee covers unlimited office visits, 24/7 direct access to Dr. Meyers, same-day or next-day appointments, and an annual executive-style physical. There are no per-visit charges and no surprise bills from our office.

Concierge medicine fees in the [CITY] area typically range widely depending on the physician's experience and what the membership includes. We publish our fee openly because we believe you should be able to evaluate the value before you ever call us. Many members find the fee comparable to what they were already losing each year to missed work, urgent care visits, and delayed care under the traditional model.

What is an executive physical, and is it included?

An executive physical is a comprehensive, half-day health assessment — advanced lab panels, cardiovascular screening, cancer screening review, body composition, fitness and cognitive baselines — followed by a detailed plan, not a pamphlet. At Meyers Medical, a full executive physical is included in every membership, every year.

Standalone executive physicals at hospital-based programs often cost thousands of dollars per visit. Ours is built into membership because prevention is the point of the model: finding problems early, when they are small and fixable.

Is concierge medicine worth it if I'm healthy?

Healthy patients are often the members who gain the most, because the membership buys prevention, not just sick care. Your annual executive physical, longevity planning, and a physician who knows your baseline mean small changes get noticed years before they become diagnoses.

The traditional system is designed to react to illness. A concierge practice is designed to keep you out of it. If your goal is to be as healthy at 70 as you are at 50, the work starts while you are well.

How It Works

How is concierge medicine different from direct primary care (DPC)?

Both models charge a membership fee for enhanced access to a physician, but concierge practices like ours typically also bill insurance for covered services, while direct primary care practices do not accept insurance at all. Concierge medicine also tends to offer a deeper level of service — executive physicals, care coordination with specialists, and 24/7 physician access — with a smaller patient panel.

At Meyers Medical, Dr. Meyers limits the practice to roughly [300] patients, compared with the 2,500+ a traditional practice carries. DPC panels usually fall somewhere in between. If you are comparing the two models, the right question is not the label but the specifics: panel size, who answers the phone at 2 AM, and how visits are scheduled.

What is included in a Meyers Medical membership?

Membership includes 24/7 direct phone and text access to Dr. Meyers, same-day or next-day appointments, unhurried visits of 30–60 minutes, a comprehensive annual executive physical, a personalized prevention and longevity plan, coordination of any specialist care you need, telemedicine visits, and house calls when medically appropriate.

There are no visit limits and no tiers of access — every member receives the same complete level of care. The membership fee is the practice's primary revenue, which is exactly what allows the panel to stay small and the visits to stay long.

Can I really reach Dr. Meyers 24/7?

Yes. Members receive Dr. Meyers's direct contact information and can call or text at any hour. After-hours calls are answered by your physician — not an answering service, not an on-call stranger reading your chart for the first time.

In practice, most after-hours questions are resolved in a short call: whether a symptom can wait until morning, an urgent prescription, guidance from the road when you are traveling. Because the panel is capped at about [300] patients, this promise is sustainable — it is a matter of arithmetic, not marketing.

How quickly can I get an appointment?

Members are seen the same day or the next business day, virtually always. Appointments start on time and run 30–60 minutes, so nothing is rushed and nothing is left for "next time."

The average wait to see a primary care physician in the U.S. is measured in weeks. A capped panel makes same-day access routine rather than exceptional — the calendar simply has room in it.

What happens if I need a specialist or hospital care?

Dr. Meyers personally coordinates your specialist care: choosing the right specialist, sharing your history directly, expediting appointments, and reviewing the findings with you afterward in plain language. If you are hospitalized, Dr. Meyers stays in communication with the hospital team and manages your transition home.

Care coordination is where concierge medicine most visibly outperforms the traditional model. You are never left to navigate a referral maze alone, repeat your story from scratch, or wonder what a report means.

Do you offer house calls and telemedicine?

Yes. Telemedicine visits are included in membership and available whenever a video or phone visit is clinically appropriate. House calls are available in the [CITY] area when your condition makes coming to the office difficult or unwise.

Members who travel frequently particularly value telemedicine — a familiar physician who has your complete history is a phone call away from anywhere in the world.

Insurance & Coverage

Does concierge medicine replace my health insurance?

No. Concierge membership covers your primary care relationship with Dr. Meyers; you should keep your health insurance for everything outside our office. Insurance still pays for hospitalizations, specialists, imaging, lab work, and prescriptions. Most members pair membership with a high-deductible plan or their existing employer coverage.

Think of it this way: membership buys you unrestricted access to your physician, and insurance protects you against large, unpredictable costs. The two work together. We are happy to walk you through how your specific plan interacts with membership during a free meet-and-greet.

Is the membership fee covered by insurance, HSA, or FSA?

Insurance does not pay the membership fee itself. Portions of the fee may be eligible for HSA or FSA reimbursement depending on how your plan treats it, and some members deduct a portion as a medical expense — your tax advisor can confirm what applies to you. Services we bill to insurance (where applicable) are processed like any other claim.

We provide detailed receipts and any documentation your HSA administrator or accountant requests. During your meet-and-greet we can walk through exactly how other members in similar situations handle it.

Do you accept Medicare patients?

Yes, Medicare patients are welcome. The membership fee covers non-covered services — such as 24/7 access, the extended annual physical, and same-day scheduling — and is separate from what Medicare pays for. Many of our members are on Medicare and find the model especially valuable for managing multiple conditions.

Medicare rules around concierge practices are specific, and we follow them carefully: the membership fee never charges you a second time for a Medicare-covered service. We are glad to explain the details in person.

Getting Started

How many patients does the practice accept?

Meyers Medical is limited to approximately [300] patients — a fraction of the 2,500+ patients a typical primary care practice carries. When the panel is full, new patients join a waitlist.

The cap is not a marketing device; it is the mechanism that makes everything else possible. Same-day appointments, hour-long visits, and 24/7 physician access are only sustainable when one doctor cares for a small, known panel.

How do I join? Is there a commitment?

Start with a free, no-obligation meet-and-greet with Dr. Meyers — in person or by video. If the practice is a fit, enrollment takes about fifteen minutes, and your first comprehensive visit is scheduled within days. Membership is annual, and you may cancel with written notice for a prorated refund of unused months.

The meet-and-greet exists because the physician relationship is personal. You should hear how Dr. Meyers thinks about medicine, ask anything you like, and decide without pressure. Use the contact form on our website to schedule.

Do you see patients outside [CITY]?

Yes. Members come from across the [CITY] metropolitan area, including [NEIGHBORHOOD 1], [NEIGHBORHOOD 2], [NEIGHBORHOOD 3], and surrounding communities. Telemedicine also lets established members stay connected while traveling or living part of the year elsewhere.

In-person visits happen at our [CITY], [ST] office, and house calls are available within the local area. If you are unsure whether your location works, ask — the answer is usually yes.

The best answers come from a conversation.

Schedule a free meet-and-greet with Dr. Meyers and ask anything — about your health, your insurance, or whether the membership makes sense for you.
